Chapter 3024 You look like someone
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Nan Yan looked back and saw a big man carrying Tingfu, whose hands were tied behind his back, and walked in and threw him to the ground.
"Listen to Fu!"
Nan Yan exclaimed and ran over quickly.
Tingfu struggled hard for a few times like a fish that was fished out and thrown onto the shore, but it was useless because his hands were tied behind his back. Nan Yan supported him to see if he was injured.
Tingfu said with red eyes: "My lady, this servant is useless."
Nan Yan checked him up and down. There was a bruise on his forehead, probably from being beaten when he was arrested, but there were no obvious wounds anywhere else on his body. She patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay."
In fact, it was her fault.
They had already arrived at Xingluo Lake, the heavily guarded Tiangang Lianhuan Dock. How could Tingfu, alone, easily slip out and deliver a message to Zhu Feng? Her decision was fundamentally wrong.
It was true that she was too concerned and was too afraid that Zhu Feng would get into an accident.
Thinking of this, she said softly with a lump in her throat, "It's my fault."
"Your Majesty..."
Tingfu wanted to say something, but Nanyan had already shaken her head to signal him not to speak. Then she looked up at the back of the man who was still standing high above her. He only heard the man say slowly, "Your distinguished guest has come to our place. Our people are used to roughing things up and I'm afraid we can't serve you well. So, it's better for you to have someone you are familiar with stay by your side to serve you."
“…”
"It's just that you are guests here, and I am the host here."
“…”
"The rule is that the guest should follow the host's wishes. I don't need to explain it any more. If you behave yourself, we will have less trouble."
Nan Yanliang untied the ropes that bound Tingfu's hands, pulled him to his feet, and said to the man, "Alright, we understand that the guest should follow the host's wishes. Now, shouldn't the host send him back to rest and apply some medicine?"
When the people around heard her words, they couldn't help but frown.
Even some of those guarding outside the door had expressions of fear on their faces.
The man standing next to the main seat, although he looked white-haired and spoke in a calm manner, everyone here knew clearly that in Tiangang Lianhuanwu and the entire Xingluo Lake, his words were imperial decrees. His joys and sorrows, his anger and sorrows, his every word and action, were related to the life and death of the people here. Even the four elders who had followed him for many years did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
But this woman, the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, is clearly a weak woman who is in danger when she comes here. How dare she speak to the old man like this?
Are you really not afraid of death?
This time, even the "old man" paused, as if pondering carefully for a moment, and then spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice: "Come here, follow the guest's instructions and take the man away and treat his injuries properly."
"yes."
Several young men came over and said to Tingfu, "Come with us."
Tingfu refused to leave. After all, if he left, Nanyan would have to stay here alone to face so many ferocious pirates, especially since their actions had been discovered and they didn't know what evil plans these people had.
He said, "I will stay here to accompany the Empress!"
Nan Yan patted his shoulder and said softly, "Be obedient. I know what to do. You can't help me here."
Hearing her say this, Tingfu lowered his head with some guilt, but still followed her obediently.
After their backs disappeared outside the gate, Nan Yan turned around and looked at the person above, but did not ask any questions. After all, at this time, there was only one thing she could do, and that was to meet him.
She was waiting for the man to turn around.
However, the "old man" still stood with his back to her and said slowly, "Actually, this time, you really surprised me."
Nan Yan looked at him: "What's the surprise?"
"From the beginning, I didn't believe that Hang Seng Bank could lure out any big fish. That Mr. Ye was just a pawn, and it's understandable that he was blinded by a single leaf, but those in power are all afraid of death. I don't believe they can lure the emperor."
“…”
"But, what I never expected was that the one I attracted would be the imperial concubine of the current dynasty!"
“…”
"Could it be that you are less afraid of death than men?"
Nan Yan smiled and said calmly, "I see that the old man holds a position above the tens of thousands of people in Xingluo Lake, and I'm also somewhat aware of your identity. Someone who has dominated Xingluo Lake for decades, leaving the imperial court helpless, must be a genius. If that's the case, why are you so ambiguous and lacking in confidence?"
“…”
"Don't say 'maybe'. I'm standing here, I'm even more fearless than any other man."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The man laughed loudly several times. Although he was as thin as a dead pine tree, his laughter was so deep and powerful that it almost made the roof tremble.
He turned around while laughing.
At this moment, Nan Yan finally saw the true face of this person.
This "old man" is over 70 years old, with wrinkles all over his face and gray hair and beard. Although he is old, his facial features reveal a sense of elegance. I think he must have been a handsome man when he was young. Moreover, his eyes are bright and sharp. Even if Nan Yan meets him in a random countryside, he will definitely notice such an outstanding pair of eyes.
Anyone with eyes like this is definitely not an ordinary person.
At this moment, these eyes were smiling as they looked Nan Yan up and down. At a certain moment, Nan Yan felt that his gaze seemed a little dazed.
Logically speaking, this should be the first time the two people met. In fact, it was definitely the case. Nan Yan was sure that she had never seen this person before, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable feeling in the eyes of this "old man" when he looked at her, as if he was not unfamiliar.
The old man smiled and said, "You should know who I am, right?"
Nan Yan looked at him calmly and said slowly, "Luo Xingwen."
This powerful rival who once fought with Emperor Gao for the world and was almost one step away from ascending the throne, time has passed and the hero has grown old, but just by looking at those eyes, Nan Yan seems to be able to read about the heroic years of iron horses and the fierceness of the tiger.
He just stood there quietly, even with a smile on his face.
But the whole person seems like a heroic epic filled with gunpowder smoke.
At this moment, he stared at Nan Yan, smiled and said, “You look like a person.”
“…”
"Could it be that the 'concubine' chosen by the Zhu family is all based on this character and temperament?"
